That chart is clearly for the ocean. The wind was indeed 25-30mph from my weather station on the broads side of Barndoor Island. I'm pretty sure there were not 9-12 foot waves in Winter Harbor. There were a few waves that topped my breakwater. With the water at it's current level the top of my breakwater is ~36" off the surface, so maybe you could argue from trough to peak was getting into the 5 foot range.
I find it amazing that people were out in boats on Sunday needing to be rescued.
